A ceremony was held inaugurating two new mobile intensive care unit (MICU) vehicles in the local council of Shlomi.
One of these vehicles will operate 24/7 with the assistance of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), while the other will serve in emergencies and, if needed, will also be operated with the Foundation’s assistance. One vehicle was donated by Jay Baker, and the second was donated by Morris and Arlene Goldfarb with the help of the American Friends of Magen David Adom. Attendees at the ceremony included Gabriel Naaman, Head of the Shlomi Council; Lt. Col. (Res.) Safuan Merih, Emergency and Security Manager at the IFCJ; Gil Moskowitz, MDA Deputy Director General of Operations; Eli Peretz, Manager of the Asher Region; Bat Sheva Guaz, Deputy Manager of the Asher Region; Roni Maman, Deputy Manager of the Asher Region and Medical Supervisor; Shiran Elbaz, Paramedic at the Beit Jann Station; MDA station managers from the Asher Region; and volunteers and staff from the MDA Shlomi Station.
At the MDA station in Shlomi, over 100 volunteers are active, including approximately 60 MDA youth volunteers who save lives in the northern region and work to strengthen it during the war. The new MICU vehicles, operating with the help of the IFCJ, are stationed at the MDA station in the Shlomi Local Council and will provide medical response to the council’s residents and the surrounding area.
